Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The green pigment that absorbs light energy is CHLOROPHYLL.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light-usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chloroplast is a structure in a plant cell that contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll is a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms. It is required for photosynthesis, which is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy. The chlorophyll pigment is responsible for the green colouration in plants.
